Holiday Style & Ageless Style Link-Up

The Ageless Style Link-Up – The first Tuesday of every month nine over 40 bloggers present a different style theme and show a myriad of ways to wear it, all the while proving you can still be fashionable and on trend over 40 and beyond.

Welcome to this month’s edition of The Ageless Style Link-up. Shelly of The Queen in Between is this month’s host and chose our theme of Holiday Style. It couldn’t be more perfect as we all have endless holiday parties and dates to dress for in December, including Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. Holiday style can run the gamut of fun, ugly sweater parties, to casual cookie baking get-togethers, and more formal dressy events. Since this theme is open to interpretation and what our typical holiday schedule might include, you are certain to see a wide variety of styles represented by our Ageless Style group.

For Christmas Eve and Christmas day I typically like to wear something that offers a bit of glam to the mix. I look at holidays as the perfect time to wear pieces I love and do not have the opportunity to wear throughout the year. I adore this fringed sequin skirt – It is so sparkly and rather cheeky! I have worn it for New Year’s Eve, and thought it would be perfect this time around for Christmas. Adding a bright red sweater tones it down just a bit, while still keeping it festive. I decided to wear this particular silver tassel necklace because it reminds me of an ornament to a certain degree. The diamond print stockings add a subtle print with a touch of sexy (Ha- Now I cannot help but think of A Christmas Story and the infamous leg lamp trophy!) . Finally, I added a patent and suede black pump. I almost went with a dressy bootie, to give this more of a modern edge, but at the end of the day, I was feeling these pumps more.

Jennie, I love the skirt and stockings! What a fun and easy way to dress up for an event without having to buy an expensive dress you’ll probably never wear again. It looks great on you. You have fabulous legs to show off!

This skirt is just PERFECT! I agree to wear what you can’t normal times of the year. I love how you said your necklace reminds you of an ornament. Those polka dot stockings are so you, too! Such a glam and hot look!

Thanks so much, Ruth! Red has always been a favorite of mine and I am glad to still be making it work with my red hair

You are cute as a button Jennie! You absolutely pop in red & so glad you went with something festive & sparkly especially since it is something you rarely get to wear during the year. It’s funny how I’ve also compartmentalized clothing for certain times of the year….. like my gold jacket. Your diamond print stockings are the perfect finishing touch! Such a fun look!

I love red and love seeing on ladies with red hair! The sweater looks so pretty on you! The skirt is glam, love the sequins and I saw one the other day with feathers I thought was cool. Looks perfect! I love dressing up for the Holidays too, gets you in the mood.
